[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#568200: initscripts: fsck attempted on non-existent partitions

[Celejar]

I agree with the reporter.  I have indeed been forced to do what Petter
suggests, and set fs_passno to 0, but this is not an optimal solution,
since the external disk is sometimes present at boot, and when it is, I
do want it to be fscked.

Why should there be no easy way to tell init "fsck, and possibly mount,
the filesystem if it's present, but if not, just proceed normally"?
Isn't this a common enough situation?
